FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to an intermediate compounds useful for the total synthesis of ecteinascidin 743 (hereinafter shortened to Et 743) having high antineoplastic activity, the analogous structural compounds to Et 743 and the method for synthesis of Et 743.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Ecteinascidins is a group of marine alkaloid having antineoplasticity which is isolated from the extracted products from marine tunicate habitat of Caribbean sea by very small amount. Among the ecteinascidins, since Et 743 has a very strong antineoplastic activity, the investigation to put it into practical use as a carcinostatic agent is limited, and the phase II clinical tests are now carried out in ten several countries in Europe and America. It is known that Et 743 has an effect to depress the proliferation of cancer cells by 10 to 100 times more potent than(IC50=0.1−1 nM) Toxol, Camptotesin, Adriamycin or Mitomycin which are currently used carcinostatic agent.

From the back ground mentioned above, various investigations for synthesis were carried out, however, the complete synthesis was only reported by Prof. E. J. Corey of Harvard University in U.S.A. (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1996, 118, 9202-9203, reference document A).

In the process of synthesis of the total synthesis disclosed in Document A (refer to page 9202), the feature of the process is existing in the point that Et 743 is synthesized from the analogous compound to the compound represented by general formula 1 of the present invention via intermediates 4 and 8. That is, according to said process, C₄ site of ring B (regarding indication of ring, and the sites of atoms composing 6-members ring, refer to general formula 1) which composes 6-members ring is formed from the intermediate 4 at the first step. And, since to the atom C₄ composing B ring of 6-membered ring H which lacks reactivity is bonded, it becomes necessary to have an oxidation reaction to C₄ site on B ring. This oxidation reaction is not effective and is carried out by harsh condition, therefore, the production by industrial scale is difficult and also the yield is not good. Further, since atom N₁₂ site of the synthesized intermediate is substituted by alkyl group which lacks reactivity, in this case substituted by methyl group, it is not suited to the synthesis for various compounds. Although the total synthesis was reported, the supplying source of Et 743 is still depending on the natural sample whose supplying amount is very scarce, therefore, the establishment of the method for a large scale production of Et 743 is desired by accomplishing an effective synthesizing process.

Since, Et 743 is known as a medicine having high antineoplasticity, and phthalascidin induced from the intermediate product at the synthesis of Et 743 displays same activity to Et 743, the establishment of the effective and mild method for synthesis of Et 743 and analogous compound thereof is strongly desired.

Therefore, the subject of the present invention is basically to accomplish the effective method for total synthesis of Et 743, further, to provide not only Et 743 but also analogous compounds.

To dissolve the subject, the present invention tried the retrosynthetic analysis, which promises easy synthesis. And it will be possible to form B ring by ring forming reaction at ortho position of phenol which composes A ring to inner molecular aldehyde in a generated compound by 4-8 reaction. Further, the inventors of the present invention considered that the generated compound by 4-8 reaction will be possible to synthesize based on the polycondensation reaction of general formula 4, and general formula 5 via a compound of general formula 3, the total synthesis of Et 743, which is the aimed compound, by way of the compounds represented by general formulae 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 and the specific structure of general formulae 1 and 2. And confirmation of the synthetic route enabled providing the analogous compound of Et 743.

As mentioned above, the first feature of the present invention is     the B ring forming reaction at ortho position of phenol which     composes A ring to aldehyde indicated by reaction 4-9 process in     synthesis process of the compound of the general formula 2. The     feature of this reaction is that the reaction is progressed by a     mild neutralized condition. Having OH group at the C₄ site which is     expressed as the structural feature of the compound represented by     general formula 2, the mild reaction condition is superior, since     the compound disclosed in above mentioned prior art has hydrogen at     this site, the reaction under harsh condition is required.     Furthermore, from this synthesis intermediate, the synthesis of     various analogous compounds is possible, and there is a possibility     to obtain a compound having antineoplastic activity such as     phtharasacidin being equal to Et 743. -   B. The second feature of the present invention depends on utilizing     the Ugi's 4 components condensation reaction of mentioned 3-1     reaction and Heck reaction of reaction 3-6 as the key process. First     of all, in the Ugi's 4 components condensation reaction of 3-1, no     condensation reagents is required for the generation of amide bond.     The compound 3-1 make it possible to progress easily the formation     of C ring of reaction 3-3. The ring forming reaction of reaction of     3-6 is not only the stereo chemistry of C₃ site controlled     perfectly, but also can proceed the reaction using catalytic amount     of Pd₂(dba)₃, which is an expensive reagent, by catalytic amount. -   C. The third feature of the present invention is that the amine     represented by general formula 4 and the carboxylic acid represented     by general formula 5 can be provided by a large scale production. -   D. The fourth feature of the present invention is the ring forming     reaction of 10 members ring shown by reaction 5-3 process caused by     bonding of sulfur atom at C₄ site. The compound of the present     invention, to the C₄ site of which a hydroxyl group is introduced,     is possible to generate a cation of benzyl site easily under the     acidic condition, therefore, the ring formation of 10 members ring     by catching of sulfur atom to said cation is proceeded by high     yield. When compared with the case which uses the compound whose C₄     site is H reported by Prof. E. J. Corey, the method of the present     invention can use more mild condition. Therefore, the method of the     present invention has the advantage for easily accomplishing of     scale up, further has the possibility to introduce the ring of     various numbers of member and is useful for the synthesis of various     derivatives.
